In the Hakimpur Hili retail market bordering Dinajpur, the prices of vegetables and eggs have gone down, but the prices of potatoes have gone up.
Eggs are being sold at Tk 350 per pack (30 pitches) reduced by Tk 20. On the other hand, the import of potatoes through the port continued, but the price of potatoes increased.
Various types of vegetables have reduced by Tk 20 to Tk 100 in Hili Bazar.

Retailers say prices have started to fall due to increased supply in the market. Some relief has returned to the common buyers to reduce the prices. However, despite the reduction in the prices of vegetables and eggs, the price of potatoes did not decrease, but common people expressed their anger.
Mahidul Islam, who came to Hili Bazar to do the kitchen market, said that currently the price of vegetables has decreased in the Hili kitchen Market. Due to the reduction in the prices of various types of vegetables, some relief has returned among us. However, the price of potato has not decreased in any way in the market. Rather, the price is increasing day by day. The administration should pay close attention to why the prices are increasing. Along with that regular market monitoring should be done.
Sohail Rana, a vegetable seller in Hilli Bazaar, said that winter vegetables have started growing in Hilli Bazaar from the last few days. The prices of vegetables have come down slightly due to increased supply in the market. Customers have increased a lot since before. We buy low and sell low.
He also said that due to the high growth of winter vegetables in Mokam, the price will decrease further.
Sultan Mahmud, an egg seller at Hili Bazaar, said that the price of eggs was slightly higher a week ago. At present the farm owners have reduced the price of eggs, for which per hatchery (30 eggs) has been reduced by Tk 30. Currently, each khachi (30 pitches) is being sold at the rate of Tk 350. And retail is selling 12 rupees per pitch. However, it is not possible to say whether the price will decrease in the winter season. Although the price of eggs has decreased, there are no buyers as before.
On the other hand, the import of potatoes from India through Hili land port continues, but the price of potatoes in the market has not decreased.
